We celebrate the births of 2 fascinating men.

Starting with Andrew Carnegie, the businessman and philanthropist who gave away over 90% of his wealth during his life. But also controversial in how he may have achieved his wealth.

The second story celebrates the birth of John Logie Baird, the Scottish inventor of Television.

Born in the West of Scotland, he went on to invent one of the most important inventions of all time.

Hey folks,

This series is a long time coming.

To fully understand the Covenanters, as I've attempted to do for the last 6 years, I unfortunately have to start at the very beginning. The roots of the tree.

So in this episode we focus on :

The Protestant Reformation

James VI & I

Charles I

The Signing of the National Covenant

This will be a 5 or 6 part series.

Strap yourself in - it's going to be wild!

This week in Scottish History!

Our first story is about my all time favourite comic book, The Beano. The reason I wanted a catapult and peashooters when I was a child. Including my obsession with whoopee cushions, often given as toys with the comic books!

Our second story is about the inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell. We learn that it wasn't just Alexander Graham Bell who had a hand to play in inventing the telephone and also the remarkable tribute paid to him on his death - this week in Scottish History.

This week in Scottish History saw the death of "The Last Jacobite King" - Henry Benedict Stuart.

It's an absolutely bumper episode. And a very emotional story which I loved researching and telling.
